Hi Ben,
Glad to hear it's working for you now.
For those who are wondering why Ben doesn't just utilize Probe Image for all map acquisitions, it's because Probe Image doesn't yet acquire polygon maps nor does it yet support the image (stage) drift feature. So until we implement these features directly in Probe Image, we've provided a convertor utility accessed from Probe Image, to allow one to acquire x-ray maps using the JEOL or Cameca OEM software, and then convert the maps to the Probe Image PrbImg file format. These PrbImg files can then be utilized by CalcImage to create fully quantitative x-ray maps automatically corrected for beam drift, standard drift, background, matrix and spectral interferences, as shown here for example:
http://probesoftware.com/smf/index.php?topic=73.msg5130#msg5130Ben: yes, the map.cnd file contains the mapping information for all the maps acquired in that session., so that's the map file that needs to be clicked on for the JEOL 8230/8530 map import and conversion to PrbImg file format.
For the JEOL 8900/8200/8500 one needs to click on the 0.cnd file, as that is the file that contains the mapping information for all the acquired maps for these instruments.
For Cameca instrument map files one needs to click on any of the ASCII .TXT files that has been exported from PeakSight with a caveat: PeakSight does not provide quite enough information in its export files to uniquely determine the exact identity of each file to be converted. So depending on the naming convention utilized by the user, one may or may not need to rename the files to be sure the x-ray and VS signals are assigned properly. It's hard to explain but in looking at the Cameca .TXT file, it seems that Cameca never intended for this .TXT format to be automatically read in by a re-processing program. So if anyone out there has figured out the actual header format of the Cameca binary mapping file (*.ImpDat), please contact us and let us know what you know. Cameca has refused so far to share any information on their binary format, because well, they're Cameca.
Also, for anyone else wanting to utilize the File | Convert JEOL or Cameca files to PrbImge format menu, be sure to download the latest ConvertToPrbImg.exe file and copy it to the Probe Image application folder and overwrite the existing file in the Convertor sub folder.
We've fixed some minor bugs in it since the last release of Probe Image. I've attached it below in case anyone needs it.
